Hundreds of thousands of billpayers could be in line for a payout of up to £1,000 each following a data breach. Hayes Connor, a law firm, has pointed out that a mere 300 out of the 270,000 victims of the People’s Energy data breach in 2020 have filed for compensation.
Despite the company entering administration in 2021, claims can still be made as administrators have confirmed the availability of millions in funds for compensation, even four years after the incident.
Victims may receive up to £1,000 each for any emotional or financial distress caused. Richard Forest, Legal Director at Hayes Connor, commented: “Joining the action claim is a smart way to pursue compensation without the usual stress or costs that often come with legal action.
